Two weeks ago we went to Bear Lake for my mom's side family reunion. All my aunts, uncles and cousins and grandma came down from Calgary to hang-out on Ideal Beach. Here's Alex at the start of the short drive watching Ice-Age. So happy!
Sorry, forgot to flip...Alex loving the lake with goose bumps and all!
Everyone had so much fun playing on the beach!
We had a sand castle building contest, I think Grandma (the judge) said everyone won! Our family's finished product!
The woman who started it all, Thelma Sophia Rawsthorne age 92! She's only sitting in the wheelchair as a place to sit that's more comfortable than a picnic bench. What a beautiful example of aging with grace!
The whole fam, minus a few people who couldn't make it.
Sam with her cousin Reese, already best cousins!
Our reunion shirts, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) crest on front and the motto on back "Maintain the Right". My Grandpa was an RCMP. 
Alex and Bentley at the luau, Chris made his signature Khalua Pig, minus the Khalua and it was delicious!
Alex walked around all night asking people for their lei's, she's always been a little gatherer (hoarder)....too cute!
We had such a wonderful time seeing everyone and can't wait for the next time we get together. Everyone who planned and executed did such a fantastic job. Good times!

You are so pretty, no seriously. Some women get hotter after kids and some do not. Motherhood has treated you well. I invited you to view the ole' blog, check your email let me know if there are any problems with that.
